Cherry Bomb

"Their spark could be too hot to handle or bring a dying town back to life."

"Mercury Rising," Book 2

Officially, Turnstiles CEO Brian Curland is in Mercury to set up a new data center. Unofficially, he s using this trip to re-evaluate his life, because for a man who has everything, he s feeling pretty empty.

He could buy any car he wants. But no, he had to rent a piece-of-crap Chevy which is now broken down on the side of the road. When he s rescued by a sexy local, Brian does what he always does. Go for what he wants, even if it s just temporary.

Evan Michaels stops to help because that s what good guys do. He grew up in Mercury, eventually becoming minister of the local Unitarian church. Though everyone knows him, being gay and being in a gay relationship are two different things. He wants Brian, but their affair has to be secret or he can t play.

When Evan unleashes his long-suppressed sexuality, Brian is more than up to handling the heat. Yet even though they fall hard for each other, it might take the whole town to convince them it s a forever kind of love.
